There was nothing for it. bill to hope for the best. Murgatroyd began to regret, In ease of failure at the last moment, that he had snii that wire to the Pioneer, There was no further use for Jordan.

Sir Richard Hanley had kept up a show of cheerfulness before Ills friends, political and social, during tbe past fortnight. Only Maud, bis butler, and his valet—both old servants, who had been with the statesman many years—knew the contrary, lu bis brain was tbe Iteration of a perpetual question, which met him nt bis meals, which sat behind him as he rode through the Park, and over '.he frosty roads leading In and out ol London, north and south—above all which lay by hia side at night, and i-roke to him amid that mysterious j science Which comes upon a great city about two o'clock in the morning— the most impressive silence in the whole world to the wakeful watcher. Quite as much as Murgatroyd, Hanley had rettthed a marked and con- splvuous nilestone in bis life. Some thing was written on it. What that writing was as yet seemed as uncertain and o.'usive as the obiter dicta of a Delphic oiacle. it might be as the Handwriting on the Wall in ancient Uabylon; and as the days drew on without news, Hanley grew to he certain that io It was to be. During the wakeful Lights his whole past had risen before him. It was a consecutive panorama of conspicuous and unfailing success. Born to a good position, and the inheritor of a name which had won honors for itself in both camp and court, he had made it greater. Wealthy by inheritance, his aims bad never been sullied by the pereptual striving to make a good show with a narrow margin, which has been the bane of many capable units of the great governing class. Of late he was well aware lie had filled The Right Soap For Baby's Skin sCoticuraSoap TN the care of baby's skin and hair, Cuticura Soap is the mother's favourite.

What little sleep he had enjoyed lad by no means conclusive even fieiu the point of breaking into its ta-ey February dawn. He looked over bis letters with a shaking band. There was no line from Murgatroyd. Maud had satisfied herself on this point beforehand, when she arranged as she always did, the letters beside her father's plate. She watched him furtively, While the footman wns in the room conversation was impossible. Tin man gone, Maud came and put her arms round her father's neck. I inn awfully sorry you have not got the letter you wanted, 1 cannot understand It. 1 should have thought Mr. Murgatroyd would have written whether he had succeeded or not. 1 told Iiiin In fact, he sees the papers down there, and knows as well as i do—thai it was now or never.

NERVOUS PEOPLE MADE CHEERFUL Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Rebuild Shattered Nerves Good blood- rich, red blood -makes all the difference between health and sickness. If the blood Is thin and winery, the health of the whole body suffers. The sufferer becomes nervous anil Irritable; the stomach falls lu strength and the appetite becomes poor, Food does not give the necessary nourishment, nnd the llrst feeling of weakness passes, as time goes on, Into a general breakdown In Ihe health. The case of Mrs. Angell- que lingnon, of St. Jerome, Que., Illustrates the truth of these-statements. -Mrs. Gagrjon says: "l am fifty years of age and un to a few months ago always enjoyed the best of health. Then I began to feel rundown and weak, without patience or ambition. My appelite grew poor, and my nerves seemed to be on edge, and the least noise or worry would make m > irr't-.ole and nervous. Life became an I ctual burden and I could no longer look after my household duties. My doctor prescribed and ordered a change, Baying that I was a nervous wreck. I tried to become Interested in other things but failed, and my condition was really deplorable. I continued in this condilion for several months, gradually going down, and as my doctor was not helping me 1 was easily persuaded by a friend to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking the pills for a few weeks I could see an improvement, and 1 gladly continued using them for a couple of months, when I found my health fully restored. I am more than thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me, and 1 gladly recommend them to all who are weak, nervous and run down."

If the hcigth was dizzy to which Hanley had climbed, the fall would be as precipitous, in the delicate negotiation of this Transalplan question he had proved again and again ids grasp of the subject nnd the mastery of intricate details. At the same time, his delicate handling of the negotiations, which at any moment might plunge this country Into a war whoso Issue no one could forsee, had evoked the applause of those best qualified to judge.

Hanley recognized that while he had troops of friends be had many enemies—men like Thoinpson-llnlliday, infinitely beneath him, In mental calibre, and lofty judgment, but all the more capable of the petty malignity which would serve to intensify his fall. Nor did Hanley care only for himself. He was loyal to his colleagues and his party. Neither could come unscathed out of such a disaster as his own practical defeat. The events of the next few hours might undermine the results of tie steady work of years, and put hack—as he judged it—the clock of time. He had been In his study till late the night before and had prepared two statements for the House of Commons—the one with the additional evidence he hoped to get, evidence which would have rendered his case Irrefutable and triumphant; the other without It, still strong and resonable, bt't an he recognized clearly, been nnd In myriads of waterfalls, until Franklin and Morse and Edison put him In harness and made him one of the most useful and Ingenious servants of man Aluminum, which constitutes nearly one-twelfth of the earth crust, lay obscure until Sir Humphrey Davy in 1S08. declared that clay and many clayey rocks depended upon some metal as a base. At first it has been contended, men used both arms indifferently, and those who when fighting pushed the right side forward had the advantage of shielding their hearts and so lived to produce descendants who Inherited their tendencies. Be this as it amy, there is no doubt thai the two sides of the brain have different functions, and right or left-handedness is by no means restricted to the arms alone. One investigator was very often able to recognize left handedness hy the examination of the left eye. The centre of sppceh is on the left side of the brain of a right handed person and on the right side of a left handed person. Children show iinniiatakablii evidence of two speech centres, though one atrophies owing to the preference given to one hand. Nevertheless experiments show that It cau be successfully resuscitated. Tanning by Electricity A new electric tanning process, Invented by the Swedish scientist, Dr. A, Groth, and applied on a practical scale in an English works, Is attract ing mucb attention, and one of the prominent electrical firms Is to take it up for commercial use. With this method, the hides are put in Bpecla! vnls along with metal conductors, sens to carry out an electrolytic action, and this will tan the bides in much less time than usual, for instance, six weeks as compared to several, months. Leather of better quality is produced In this way, and the method gives a perfect and solid tanning. Various electrical devices in lire shape of regulators, also safely apparatus for over-current, make the process almost an automatic one.

GREAT BRIDGES Facts of Great Structures Across the Tay and Forth 1V0I Hie leasl of the extraordinary teats of Ihe reilouhlalile bridge-build- Bl', Sir William Arrol, v.as Ihe fuel Unit al one Hum he carried on Un such gigantic contracts as ihe Tay snd Forth Bridges. II was a striking tribute io his groal powers of organ I cation and to ills genius for engineering on a mammoth scale. The construction of ihe Tay Bridge was only liBlt-flhlslied when he made a starl with the gigantic undertaking which ioiv spans ihe Firth of Forth, from the designs of Sir John fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. Over a year was spem in ihe preliminary preparations alone—the designing and making of special plant, the erection - f workshops ou Bhore and the thousands and one things essential lo Iho success nf such a large scheme. The cost of temporary plant ran to bair-a-niillion sterling, and Included thirty sienni a id oilier barges, tugs, launches an! boats, sixty steam cranes and winches, fifty hydraulic cranes, forty-eight steam engines an : hydraulic jacks, hftnd-cranes and drlllit..; machines almost Innumerable; not to mention one million cubic feet of timber and sixty miles of wire. The enormous nature of this engineering wonder of Ihe world may bo gathered from the following figures: The total lengili is over a mile and a half, and consists of two spans, eacli nearly a third of a mile long; two spans of six hundred and seventy-five feet each. In Iho piers there are about one hundred and twe.ily thousand cubic yards of masonry, and in the Buper-structure over forty thousand tons of sleel and some fifteen thousand ions of iron. The building of the Tay Bridge was an opportunity for a display of his engineering genius which the ambitious brldgemi.ker eagerly welcomed. A" rigorous examination revealed the old foundations to be Insecure, and it was decided to build an entirely new bridge a short distance farther up the river. Within five years from its commencement—1882 lo 1887—a remarkable erection, over two miles in length, and constructed at a cost of seven-hundred and fifty thousand pounds, spanned Ihe estuary, a structure strong enough to defy the fiercest gale that ever blew. It was the greatest engineering triumph of the age. until it was eclipsed by a greater— the Forth Bridge.

W. N. U. 961 Saskatchewan Lady Adds Her Testimony to What Has Already Been Said of the Great Work Dodd's Kidney Pills are Doing. CacHarvllle, Sask. (Special)—The scarcity of female help In a new country subjects the women of the prairies to unusual strain, and careful observation has established Ihe fact that this stiain llrst mak . itself felt in tho kidneys. For this rcascn Dodd's Kidney Pills ..re making an enviable reputation from the Great Lakes to the foothills of the Rockies. Everywhere you will find women sinking the praises of the great Canadian kidney remedy that lias banished their paln3 and weariness, and brought them back to health. Among the many is Mrs. Edgar t'owen, an estimable lady of this place. "I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills very beneficial," Mrs. C'owen states. "It anything I cart say will help any sufferer I am glad to add my testimonial to what has already been said." The kidneys strain all the refuse material out of the blood. If they are out of order this refuse remains in the blood, and becomes poison. That's why sound kidneys mean pure blood and good health. Dodd's Kidney Pills make sound kidneys. Quotations That are Wrong Some of the most frequently used quotatloas are not quotations at all, but in'many cases convey the opposite meaning of the original wording. Fenimorc Cooper, for Instance, thought he was quoting from the Bible when he spoke of an Inscription being so devised that he who runs may read, signifying that it was easier to rua than read. It Cooper had looked In his Bible he would have found in the book of Habakuk that the passage he tried to quote was: Write the vision and make it plain that he may run that readetli it. The vision was a warning I nil the reader was to flee from danger, but tho Cooper version has survived the original and practically put it out of use. A popular chronic misquotation is that of the passage In Iludlbras, which says: lie that compiles against bis will is of the same opinion still. Authors and public speakers without number have twisted that, into: A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still, forgetting that a man who was convinced could not possibly remain of the same opinion for if he vas of the time opinion he would not be convinced. Theodore Roosevelt publicly declared that Washington In his farewell address said: To be prepared for war is the most effective means to promote peace. But the first President said nothing of the sort In his farewell address. In his first message to Congress he said: To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace, and he spoke of oth- tr means as well. Novelists do not seem to be very strong In their knowledge of the Scriptures somehow, and Sir Walter Scott, in 'The Heart of Midlothian,' attempts to point a moral with the words: Our simple and unpretending heroine had the merit of those peacemakers to whom it is promised as a benediction that they shall inherit the earth. The fact is that the peacemakers did not receive any such promise, but it is said that the meek shall inherit the earth. four kinds of wood used are obtained ! principally from Outside sources and ' three and one balft million dollars are ! annually sent out of Ihe province for, Imported wood sioclt. The imported oak alone costs one million six hundred thousand dollars annually, for this tree lias become commercially oxtlncl in Ontario while the hickory and chestnut groves of southern Ontario have also, almnsl entirely disappeared. Even good clear white pine Is becoming hard to obtain and' its market value is steadily rising fori it represents twenty one per cent! of the totul wood consumption in Ontario for Industrial purposes. Of more Interest to the small consumer of wood-products are tlio side lights the bulletin throws on the pos-' slbllity of substituting cheat) home grown woods for the expensive foreign species now used so extensively. Recent tests made of their physical properties have demonstrated the suit- ability for certain purposes of many native species, hitherto despised by the dealers. For hardwood flooring In plac;' of the oak and maple now' In general use, may bo substituted the home grown birch irnd beech which | tako a high polish and have the advantage of being considerably cheaper. Likewise for Interior finishing, tlie expensive oak can be very closely [ imitated by slained black ash and stained birch Is almost Indistinguishable from mahogany, while stained red gum requires an expert to distinguish II from the costly Circassian walnut. The now expensive white pine is bekig replaced, where durability is not a requisite, by the cheaper| spruce, hasswood and elm. Poplar and balsam fir are two of the most common trees In Ontario and that they have wider uses is evident from the fact that poplar Is highly valued for h .rdwood flooring in Manitoba while balsam fir is perhaps the most widely used native species in the Maritime provinces. The bulletin also Indicates the existence of a market in Ontario for sumac, apple and cherry logs. The lumber cut from them being worth $30, $46.50, d.id $44.50 per thousand feet board measure respectively. The Forestry Branch has already been instrumental in securing sales of the wood of worn out apple orchards and is desirous of further serving the public along these lines. The bulletin on The Wood-using Industries of Ontario can be had gratis from the Forestry Branch, Department of the Interior, Ottawa. A similar report dealing with the Maritime Provinces will appear shortly. \JT7HAT do you pay for in shot- "*"■—i?=*5a*^—,4j». , \J VV shells?

Novel Musketry Practice A report comes from Vienna of the utilisation of the cinematograph for instruction in musketry. The firing squad is posted in front of a cinematograph screen, and a moving colored picture of tbe battlefield Is thrown on It from behind them. Each man has to pick up bis target, take aim and fire. When a shot Is fired the film stops for a second, and tlie hole made by the bullet In the screen Is Illuminated by a flashlight behind it, which shows the position of the hit with reference to the target. Correcting the Answer At a horse-stealing trial out west a Jury was gathered and shut tip lu a room after a brief trial, and when an hour had gone by a mob burst In and unceremoniously demanded what tho verdict wns. Not guilty, said the foreman. That won't do, said the leader of the mob fiercely. You will have to do better than that. And ho shut the jury up again. In half an hour the door was opened once more. . Well, geuts, jour verdict, said the leader. Guilty, the foreman replied. There were hurrah from the crowd and the leader said: Correct. You can go now. We strung him up au hour ago. Potatoes and Power One forsees the triumph of the potato, unforseen by William Cobbett, not so much as a food, but as a meaas of rr-/tlon. Coal Is giving out; petrol is going up in price aad down In production. Tho supply of both is limited am', must come to an end, but there com.>s the cheer that alcohol will be the motive force of the future. Petrol and coi.l may give out, hut the earth will always grow potatoes. Potatoes can produce alcohol and alcohol can drive engines. In the potato we seem to have discovered the secret of perpetual motion. Real Gratitude Pessimists declare that the days of gay romance t'.ro dead—that there is no spirit of chivalry left in the braasts of '.lie men of modern times. Thev are all wrong. Here we have the story In the daily papers that a man In Ohio left all bis money to the girl who refused to marry him years ago. That's gratitude for you!

Any entertainment here tonight to help a stranger while away the evenlug? The general storekeeper, who was sorting mackerel, straightened up, wiped his briny hands on his apron and said: I expect there's going to be a lecture, ', been selling eggs all day.

It is a great circle of the celestial Sphere, cutting the celestial equator at two points 180 degrees apart and making with it. an angle <.£ 23',™ degrees known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. The crossing points are called the equinoxes, because tho days and nighls are then equal, and the points midway between the equinoxes ure the solstices, because the sun then seems to stai 1 still for a few days. The ecliptic is so called because eclipses occur only when the moon is crossing it or is near it, for the moon's ii'bit cuts the ecliptic in two poiuts, called nodes or knots, and at other times is above or below it. If tha moon when In cither node, is In line with the sun and tho earth we have an eclipse, either total or annular. If sl.o 1 near her node we have a partial eclipse. The moon's nodes are not stationary, but move backward on Ihe moon's orbit, completing a revolution In about nineteen years, when Ihe eclipses of the period recur In tlie same order and at about the same Intervals as before. This period of eighteen years and eleven days is called the saros. It was known to the Chaldeans and ihe Greeks nnd gave them their data for computing eclipses. Any intelligent person can trace the sun's path In the heavens. If the sun rises exactly in the east and sets In the west it is the time of the equinoxes. If the sunrise and sunset points are faithest south and the sun Is very low In the ' avens at noonday it is the time of the winter t".slice. W. N.

The Speed of Light Tho llrsl iisli'onoiner lo satisfactorily demonstrate the speed of light was Ola rtoemer, a Scandinavian sci- entlst, who read his Immortal paper 011 Ihls subject before the Academy al Paris ;;:i8 years ago.

His daughter had no Unowlodgo of thu World or or society, There was no uour relative with whom sim could make lier inline, nnd she did not relish living alone, it wns natural, therefore (but she should wish io see something ot the world, and, being Invited lo Join a liiirl.v golug abroad, she decided to avail herself of Ihe opportunity. After visiting the principal cities of western Europe Miss Asliton found hersolt In Koine at tho most expensive hotel there. She was still the unsophisticated Obtcago girl, but her surroundings hud changed. This difference for her did not consist in Hie vast Held of antiquity about her, for, although fairly educated, a girl of twenty Is not likely to be versed In the literature that has been bunded down to us from ancient Home. What wns new to Miss Asliton wns tlio collection of persons from all parts of the world she found In tbe Eternal City.

Rome, too, has Its share of adventurers, Wherever Is the American with Ills fnrfamed dollars to spend there Is the adventurer, and no class Is so susceptible of affording plunder for dissolute foreigners as American heiresses, Miss Asliton could not long remain In one place without attracting the at- tenllon of these cormorants, she wns simplicity Itself. When visiting tlio golden house of Nero—and the guide showed her n ruined apartment ns the emperor's smoking room—she did not stop to consider that some fifteen centuries hud elapsed lifter Nero's time before tobacco wns Introduced Into Europe. When inspecting tableware exhumed from Pompeii and the guide showed her certain dishes from which lie told her the I'onipelniis drank their coffee it did not occur to ber that a similar period hud elapsed before Europe had begun to enjoy that beverage. It Is not strange that a girl so easily deceived In these mutters should put faith in any man who claimed that he loved ber. Alias Asliton spent a winter In Koine, and when spring came she had received a number of propositions of mar- ::agc. There are many princes In Italy, for every one descended from an an- eie'nt ruler of one of (he formerly Independent principalities of what Is now United Italy bears tbe title of prince or princess.

However, my dear Margie, having brought me over here to get you out of your difficulty, perhaps you'd better leave the matter to me." "That's just what I'd like-that Is, If you don't mind such an awful job." "It won't be so hard for me as It would for you. Don't see any of them till tomorrow afternoon.

A detective tells this story about a "confidence man," who gave the polico a lot of trouble. One day the detective wns lu an auction room, where "fake" jewelry was being sold. A lot ot watches were offered—cheap, worthless affairs, but got up to look like solid gold. They wore knocked down for $2.15 apiece, and the detective noted Hint they were bought by this confidence man. Two months later the detective met hlni and asked him what be bad done with the watches. The scoundrel explained his scheme. Ho had hired a room, put In a desk and a few chairs and made himself up to look like nn old man. Then he advertised something like this: "Found-A solid gold watch. I.oscr can have It by paying costs. Apply," etc. Nearly every smart thief in town answered tho ui crllsemcnt, claimed tlie watch nnd paid $10 for "costs." In two days he disposed of bis entire stock In this way, and about 100 sn'st't thieves were fuming over their los.1. When It Didn't Come It Got on His Nerves.

For tho first time in Canada, it is said, n charge was laid the other day in Toronto which is not without considerable interest. It is teri:;ed "Conspiring to compensate." In January last Louis Sicgel was arrested for stealing a large quantity of furs, and Abraham Panscr went bail for him. It is now alleged that Panser was compensated tor so doing, to the extent of $25, and Nathan Shapiro, along with Louis Panser, are said to have negotiated the amount. Shapiro got a loan of a diamond pin, pawned it and then got some more money Irom Louis Panser, with the ticket as security. All three are now charged with the conspiracy. There have been convictions in the old country on a similar count and it is on the English law that the presi ent charge is now made. When the Blue and the Gray Joined In a Birthday Celebration—A Meeting With Grant In Washington—Lincoln's Vi6it to Mrs. Pickett. iii Mrs. Pickett's Introductory chap* tor to "The Heart of a Soldier, As lie- Vealed In (he IntlmatO Letters of General George E. Pickett, 0. K. a," there Is an extremely Interesting story. It appears tlmt while at Itlcbmond, Just after the surrender, she was summoned to tbO door by a sharp rap. Slis gives a charming account of what followed: With my baby on my arm l answered the knock, opened tlie door timl looked up at a tall, gaunt, sad faced mini lu III tilling clothes, who, with the accent of the north, nsked: "Is Ibis George Pickett's place?" "Yes, sir," 1 answered, "but he Is not here." "1 know that, ma'am," be replied, "but i Just wanted to sco tbe place. I inn Abraham Lincoln." "Tho president I" I gasped, Tho stranger shook his bead ant snld: "No, ma'am; no, ma'am, Just Abraham Lincoln: George's old friend." "I nm George Pickett's wife, and this Is his baby," was all I could say. My baby pushed away from mo and reached bin bands lo Mr, Lincoln, who took him lu bis arms, As he did so nn expression of rapt, almost dlvlue tenderness and lovo lighted up the sad face. It was a look that 1 have never seen on any other luce My baby opened bis mouth wide and Insisted upon giving his father's friend a dewy, lnfantllo kiss. As Mr. Lincoln guv* tho little one !:nek to me, shaking bis linger nt him playfully, be said: "Tell your father, the rascal, that I forgive him for the sake of that kiss and those blight eyes." Mrs. Pickett explains the Interest Lincoln showed In her busb.ir.il by stating Hint It was through Mr. Lincoln's Influence that her husband received bis appointment to West Point Ono Impression the book conveys is tlmt of the kindly nnd generous feeling Hint existed between Confederates and Unionists graduated from West Point who had been friends before the •war. An exhibition of this feeling was made at tho lime of the birth ot General Pickett's first baby. Mrs. Pickett, telling the story, soy.s: On tho occasion of my son's birth bonfires were lighted In celebration all along Pickett's line. Grant saw them and sent scouts to learn the cause. When they reported be said to General Iugnlls: "Haven't we some kindling on tills sldo of tho line? Why don't we strike a light for tbe young Pickett?" In a little while bonfires were flaming from the Fereral line. A few days later there was taken through the lines a baby's silver service engraved, "To t.eorge D, rickett, Jr., from his father's friends, U. S. Grunt, Kufus In- gulls, George Suckley," General rickett, in n letter from Washington, relates another incident in which this same kindly feeling was manifested: After breakfast wo went, as nr- ranged, to see Grunt. I can't Just tell you, my darling, about that visit. You'll have to wait till I see you to tell you 1 w the warm hearted, modest old warrior and loyal friend met me; bow he took in bis Hie hand of your heart- Bore soldier—poor, broken, defented, profession gone—and, looking at him for a moment without speaking, snld slowly, "Pickett, If tliere is anything on the top of God's green earth I can do for you, sny so." • • • When I started to go Grant pulled down a checkbook and Biiid. "Pickett, It seems funny, doesn't It, that 1 should have any money to offer, but how much do you need?" "Not any, old fellow; not u cent, thank you," I snld. "I hnve plenty." "But Kufus tells me that you h.'ivo begun to build u bouse to take tbe pluce of Ihe ono old Butler burned, and ltow can you build It without money? You do need some." "I have sold some timber to pay for It,'' I told him, nnd to show my appreciation and gratilttde, unobserved, I affectionately squeezed bis log, when ho called out: "Kufus, It's the same old Geoige Pickett. Instead of nulling niv leg, he's squeezing it" Graduate Gets Good Job.

I have in mind a small village of about 100 people in the old country who had their own brass band which cheered and put life into the place. This was started by a Dane who followed the occupation of truck gardening for a living and in his spare time taught the young men of the village how to play. The instruments were purchased on deferred payments guaranteed by a few of the principal residents. Eighteen months afterwards the receipts from band attendances liquidated all debts.
